In a​ company, 60​% of the workers are men. If 1,880 people work for the company who​ aren't men​, how many workers are there in​ all? Use pencil and paper. Show two different ways that you can solve this problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4700 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60% of the worker are men

1880 people work for the company who aren't men

100% - 60% = 40%

40% of workers =  1880

40% = 0.4

If 0.4 = 1880

100% of the workers x

100% = 1

We have equations

0.4 = 1880

1 = x

Cross multiply

0.4x = 1880

Divided both sides by 0.4

x = 4700 workers total

To find the number of men workers, we take

4700 - 1880 = 2820 men workers

So, there are a total of 4700 workers!

1880 women workers & 2820 men workers!

If you can, please give me a Brainliest; thank you!

Answer 2

Answer:

FIRST SOLUTION: (proportion)

60% are men. 40% women

x - amount of men, 1 880 amount of women

60:x = 40:1 880

40x = 60(1 880)

40x = 112 800

x = 2 820

First solution said that there are 2 820 men and 1 880 womenthere are 4 700 workers all in all

SECOND SOLUTION: base rate percentage

Percentage = Rate / Base

= 1 880 / (1 - 0.60)    (1-0.60 to find out the percent of not men)

= 1 880 / 0.40

= 4 700

There are total of 4 700 workers because there are 1 880 women meaning      4 700 - 1 880 =  2 820There are 2 820 women

CHECKING:

Women: 4 700 * 0.4 = 1 880    (this statement is true)

Men: 4 700 * 0.6 = 2 820       (therefore, it is too)

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-4, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 7/5x-2/5

Answers

Answer:

y - 3 = (-5/7)(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line, y = 7/5x-2/5, has a slope of 7/5.  Any line perpendicular to this one must have a slope tht is the negative reciprocal of 7/5, which is -5/7.

Use the point-slope formula to come up with an equation for this new line:

y - 3 = (-5/7)(x + 4)

B. (6, 10)

C. (10, −10)

D. (3, −3)

Answers

Answer: C. (10, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1) 2x-3y=50

2) 7x+8y=-10

Multiply both sides of 1) equation by 3.5

1) 3.5(2x-3y)=3.5×50

   7x-10.5y=175

2) 7x+8y=-10

Subtract 2) equation from the 1)

(7x-10.5y)-(7x+8y)=175-(-10)

-18.5y=185

y=-10

x=10

A rope 13 meters long will just reach from the top of a flagpole to a point on the ground 12 meters from teh base of the flagpole. Find the height of the flagpole

Answers

Answer:

the height of the flagpole is 5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the height of the flagpole is given below

Given that

the length of the rope is 13 meters

And, the ground would be 12 meters

Based on the above information, the height of the flagpole is

= √13^2 - √12^2

= √169 - √144

= √25

= 5 meters

hence the height of the flagpole is 5 meters

Simple Composite figures question. Find the area of the shape.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  453.9 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

It considerably simplifies the area calculation to assume the figure decomposes to a parallelogram and an equilateral triangle.

The area of the parallelogram is ...

  A = bh

  A = (17 m)(6 m) = 102 m²

The area of the equilateral triangle—using the given altitude—is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(17 m)(14.7 m) = 124.95 m²

The area of the whole figure is double the sum of these areas, so is ...

  A = 2(102 m² +124.95 m²) = 453.9 m²

The area of the shape is 453.9 m².

__

Additional comment

Unless we make some assumptions about the location of the concave exterior angle at the left and right, we cannot compute the area of the figure. At least, we must assume the 10 m segments are parallel. If that is the only assumption, and other dimensions are taken at face value, the area of the figure computes to about 453.4 m². As you can see from the attachments, the altitude of 14.7 is not quite enough to make the triangle equilateral. That prevents the quadrilateral from being a parallelogram.

Further dividing the quadrilateral along its short diagonal, various lengths and angles can be found using the law of sines and the law of cosines. Then the figure area can be found as the sum of triangle areas: two triangles in the quadrilateral, and the one with altitude 14.7. This alternate approach is shown in the second attachment.

Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Maas were folding report cards to send home to parents. The ratio of the number of report cards Mrs. Thomas folded to the number of report cards Mrs. Maas folded is :. At the end of the day, Mrs. Maas folded a total of 273 report cards. How many did Mrs. Thomas fold?

Answers

Answer: 182 report cards

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of report cards Mrs. Thomas folded to the number of report cards Mrs. Maas folded is 2:3.

Mrs. Maas folded 273 report cards so the number of report cards folded by Mrs. Johnson can be found using direct proportion. Assume Mrs. Johnson folded x report cards:

2             :            3

x              :         273

Cross multiply to get:

3x = 546

x = 546 / 3

x = 182 report cards

Maggie is rock climbing. After reaching the summit, she descends 14 feet in 213 1 3 minutes. If she continues at this rate, where will Maggie be in relation to the summit after 8 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

48 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Maggie descends 14 feets in 2 1/3 minutes

14 feets takes 7/3 minutes

The amount of feets she descends after 8 minutes will be x ;

14 = 7/3

x = 8

Cross multiply

7/3 * x = 14 * 8

7x /3 = 112

7x = 112 * 3

7x = 336

x = 336 / 7

x = 48 feets

Mrs. Patterson but a set of building blocks for her son each cube shaped block measured 4 cm on one side what is the volume of six building blocks

Answers

Given:

The shape of all building blocks is a cube of side 4 cm.

To find:

The volume of six building blocks.

Solution:

Volume of a cube is:

[tex]V=a^3[/tex]

Where, a is the side length of the cube.

Putting [tex]a=4[/tex], we get

[tex]V=(4)^3[/tex]

[tex]V=64[/tex]

It means the volume of each building block is 64 cubic cm.

Now, the volume of six building blocks is

[tex]Volume=6\times V[/tex]

[tex]Volume=6\times 64[/tex]

[tex]Volume=384[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of six building blocks is 384 cubic cm.

A cereal box is 8 1/2
inches long, 2 1/2
inches wide, and 12 inches high. What is the volume of the box?


The volume of the cereal box is blank cubic inches.

Answers

Answer:

V = 255

Step-by-step explanation:

Cereal box is a rectangular prism.

Rectangular Prism formula:

V = whl

Given:

w = 2.5

h = 12

l = 8.5

Work:

V = whl

V = (2.5)(12)(8.5)

V = 255

Answer: 1428

Step-by-step explanation: Length of the cereal box = 8 1/2 inches

                                       = 17/2 inches

Width of the cereal box = 3 1/2 inches

                                     = 7/2 inches

Height of the cereal box = 12 inches

Then

Volume of the cereal box = Length * Width * Height

                                       = (17/2) * (7/2) * 12 cubic inches

                                       = 17 * 7 * 12 cubic inches

                                       = 1428 cubic inches
